How to Use

Lossless Audio Converter

Selecting Audio Files

Selecting Output Format

Choose from the following 4 output formats:

WAV
Uncompressed format. Highly versatile.
FLAC
Lossless compressed format. Reduces file size without quality loss. Output at compression level 8 (maximum compression).
ALAC
Apple Lossless format. Ideal for playback on iPhone / iTunes. Output at compression level 2.
CD WAV
CD standard (44.1kHz / 16bit) WAV file. For CD production purposes.

Conversion to the same format is skipped (e.g., WAV → WAV). WAV files already in CD format are skipped during CD WAV conversion.

Selecting Output Destination

Same as input
Output to the same folder as the input file.
Specify folder
Output to a folder specified using the Browse button.

Running Conversion

Press the Convert button to start the conversion process. Progress and detailed logs are displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Output File Names

FLAC / WAV / ALAC
Original file name with changed extension (e.g., track01.wav → track01.flac)
CD WAV
Original file name with "_cd" appended (e.g., track01.flac → track01_cd.wav)

If a file with the same name exists, a sequential number is automatically appended (e.g., track01_2.flac).
